Illuminated tiling system

Abstract

The invention relates to an illuminated tiling system ( 100 ) which comprises back panels ( 10 ) with at least one electrically conductive layer ( 12, 13 ), plugs ( 20 ) with projections ( 21, 23 ) that electrically contact the conductive layer(s) ( 12, 13 ), and light-tiles ( 30 ) with (O)LEDs that can be fixed to the plugs. For an easy tiling, dummy-tiles can first be tiled together with conventional tiles ( 2 ) and later be replaced with the light-tiles ( 30 ).

1. An illuminated tiling system, comprising
 a) at least one back panel comprising at least one electrically conductive layer covered by an isolating material; 
 b) at least one plug comprising a plug terminal and a projection configured to pierce into the back panel to electrically connect the conductive layer to the plug terminal; 
 c) at least one light tile comprising an LED light source and at least one tile terminal electrically coupled to the plug terminal when the light tile is attached to the plug; and 
 d) at least one dummy tile having similar dimensions as the light tile. 
 
     
     
       2. The illuminated tiling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises an OLED. 
     
     
       3. The illuminated tiling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the plug terminal and the tile terminal either contact each other or wirelessly coupled. 
     
     
       4. The illuminated tiling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the plug and the light tile comprise cooperating connection units for facilitating mechanically coupling therebetween. 
     
     
       5. The illuminated tiling system according to  claim 1 , wherein the plug comprises at least two projections for connecting different conductive layers of the back panel with different plug terminals.
